The end to another week. Good to have the weekend here, but bad that finals are fast approaching. classes are same old, same old... just plugging along, as per usual. i've taken to writing letters to people while i'm in class on Thursdays because Thursdays are my longest days and they really can drag on. so if you get something in the mail from me, don't be too surprised. This last Thursday (yesterday) was the worst one yet... I had a chem quiz at 8:30, as usual, and then homework due for my next class which I hadn't yet finished, and then a German test at 10:30 with 2 assignments due as well. Then, since I didn't have my German essay finished, I went and worked through lunch to get it typed up in all of its 3-page glory, and was successful in convincing my professor that I had to email it to her because my printer had broken that morning. Then I was 15 minutes late to my two hour class, a class that's crazy hard to stay awake in. Plus, I had to work last night, and do the chemistry homework in time for its midnight due date. But that's all over, and I skipped chemistry today, so, doing good.

Next week promises to be busy again, with a paper and a project due in one class, plus IM basketball playoffs, a knitting class, the Howie Day concert, more work (of course)... das Leben geht weiter.

So this weekend. I'm thinking today I'll chill out, maybe review the lecture I missed today and prep for Monday's. Tomorrow I'll get up relatively early, go get a cup of coffee somewhere, and do some reading for African American studies. Hopefully Sunday will prove to be a good day to get up, get on a bus, and go visit a part of Seattle I haven't explored yet - maybe Broadway, or Freemont, or Capitol Hill. Just some time to myself to chill out, regroup and such.

Lunchtime with JFrey. Subway time since today marks the end of his meat hiatus. Celebration ensues!

sweet is the sight of a room
window open by candlelight
how would you know
cold winter on the shore
as the dress she wore, it's on the floor
feels so warm today
that's why i'm wondering why you had to tell me
"what's going on in your head
what's wrong"
come around to another time
when you don't have to run
and when she says she wants somebody else
i hope you know that she doesn't mean you
and when she breaks down and makes a sound
you'll never hear her the way that I do
